Acousti-MIDI Conversion

BGF has discovered how to merge a Kahler bass tremolo system with acoustic and MIDI saddles that can track and sound as accurate as the best performing keyboard synthesizers on the market.

This is what many musicians have been asking the industry for over the past 25 years – Can you make my Kahler piezo/MIDI compatible? By developing proprietary saddle pieces that integrate Graphtech’s Acousti-Phonic Systems; piezo elements and Hexpander Systems; along with the original Kahler saddle set, we can now provide these retrofits and installations.

Acousti-Phonic Modular Pre-amp

For studio-quality acoustic sound from your electric bass.

captures the natural acoustics of your electric bass — hear the sound of the wood!

The Acousti-Phonic Pre-amp and Hexpander MIDI Interface can both be used as stand-alone systems, or can “piggy-back” on each other for a complete set of features. Optional Plug-in-Switches allow you to flip between magnetic, acoustic or hex outputs, or blend the three for an infinite palette of tonal possibilities.

This conversion is available with our proprietary saddle kit and the rearward Kahler bass tremolo for four, five, and six string basses.

Note: There most likely will be cavity routing involved depending upon your choice of options.
